“Frame” the US Army…? Bro the great satan doesn’t need any framing, its sins are dripping from its fangs and claws.

What’s Stalinism 🤔

novibe ,

I was being pedantic. There is no such thing as Stalinism, that article is a joke. Stalin was just a Marxist Leninist.

The real rich don’t pay any income tax tho? Not sure what you mean. Sure the high-income developers and engineers and lawyers etc. would become a richer, but they are not the rich, are they? The owners of the businesses they work at are. And they don’t pay income taxes.

Women perform better at visiospatial and anticipatory processess when menstruating (www.sciencedirect.com)

There was no group difference in reaction times and accuracy between males and females (using contraception and not). However, within subject analyses revealed that regularly menstruating females performed better during menstruation compared to being in any other phase, with faster reaction times (10ms c.ca, p < .01), fewer...

After seeing the most recent münecat video I don’t believe research like this anymore.

From the title it might not sound super related, but she goes super in depth on how these intelligence researches usually are extremely problematic. As in literally telling women that women did better in these tests made them perform as well or better than men in typically “male intelligence areas”. We don’t really understand intelligence, and how it develops, and how to measure it.

So ascribing higher or lower intelligence in certain fields to certain groups just doesn’t work. Irregardless for how statistically sound it might be. We just don’t understand the parameters around it well enough to control for it.

Yeah we made a huge mistake being born wrong 😕

But people LOOK like they can kill. They are no fuzzy and cuddly…

They elected Zelensky then immediately outlawed all communist parties, outlawed protesting, outlawed strikes, postponed elections… real democracy vibes.

novibe ,

Luddites were not anti-technology. They saw the progress of technology IN a primitive capitalist system and understood that technology would never benefit them, and always be used to subjugate them more.

If technology only benefits 0.1% of the world, and leads to the world dying, does it benefit humanity at all?

novibe ,

Not them, but Red Headed Stranger is probably one of my favourite concept albums ever.

You don’t know what you are talking about lmao

The Why Files is one of the best YouTube channels out there. They talk about fringe and conspiracy subjects but debunk them. You didn’t even watch the video and you are just making a BUNCH of assumptions that have nothing to do with it.

novibe ,

It’s not. It’s about the real implications it might have, such as for eugenics and genetically enhanced soldiers. But it also does talk a lot about the real good it does and can do. But the main points are about those two topics. That like with every technology, the issue is the social and political structures around their use. And also how eugenics never really went away. In many ways it’s using CRISPR to start a conversation about eugenics tbh.

Why does a state like California that has supermajorities in both houses of the legislature not have a livable wage, housing guarantees, universal healthcare, and other very progressive policies?

I keep being told it’s because of the Republicans that we can’t have nice things. So what gives in California? We should be overflowing with progressive policies.

novibe ,

Your conclusion makes no sense. California can’t afford the policies because states don’t print their money, the federal government does. And California doesn’t get much help from the federal government. So it’s constrained by what it can tax locally.

Those policies would work perfectly and cause no budgetary issues if the federal government paid for them by printing money.

The massive printing of money from 2008 to COVID really not make people realise that? We CAN pay for everything. The government just has to print for the money, and use it for that instead of bailing out the capitalists over and over.

novibe ,

Zimbabwe is not sovereign monetarily. The US is the most monetarily sovereign country in the world. They can literally print trillions and it doesn’t do anything to inflation. It has happened multiple times already!! Like why would people deny reality?

novibe ,

Ah yes, the legendary capitalist freedom to go homeless and die of preventable diseases. And the awful authoritarian communism of providing full employment and eliminating poverty.

If you don’t think the USA is the most authoritarian country ever, your definition of authoritarianism is useless.

novibe ,

Lenin is great, and Stalin literally saved the world. The USSR was a great success. It was as authoritarian as any western “democracy”. Prove me wrong bozo.

novibe ,

Damn revolution bad? I guess we should just lie down and accept how things are then. Better the death of millions of people, billions very soon, from the system that exists; than thousands from a revolution. You are very wise.

Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together?

It seems like every other week a game studio is massively laying off employees; sometimes after years of development. What I’m reading is that it’s a quick way to lower expenses and pad the investors’ pockets, flooding the market with developers and reducing their value, to then hire them back a few months later at lower...

novibe ,

The system literally disincentives and makes coops less competitive.

Opening a coop is harder, more expensive, have less subsidies or tax benefits, less opportunities for investments/loans etc.

And all of this makes running coops more expensive, thus less competitive, thus the ones that do manage to open either can’t grow or die.

novibe ,

Like the literal law. In most places it’s a much more involved and expensive process to even open a coop compared to a traditional private company. It takes more paperwork, more fees, more capital funds etc. Also, getting investors in (when they can’t own the coop, as they are not workers) or even loans from private or state banks/institutions is much harder. There are several programs incentivising people to open private companies, giving them tax credits, making the application and approval process easier, giving access to funds and education etc. How many there are for coops? In most places around the world there are 0. In what ways does it appear the opposite to you…? Like this all seems very self-evident to me.

novibe ,

For my city, just for a very specific example, it takes less than one afternoon and 80 bucks total (no fees and almost no capital fund requirements) to open a corporation. It takes weeks if not months to open a coop and it costs 2500 bucks PER member.

I don’t know the specifics of all cities and states everywhere in the world. But the system is built to benefit private corporations much more, as it’s a capitalist system where owning capital equals power, and workers are a commodity.

Sorry I would rather not :/

I’ll always recommend Blowback. Specially season 3. Death to America.

Dating apps are the most obvious version of the commodification of love.

You just don’t understand how you still parrot lies from the Empire. Condemning Hamas and Gaddafi…

novibe ,

That’s not so true nowadays. Skilled factory workers already make a good salary in China nowadays. Like better than any other “global south” country at least. And by cost of living, better than the US probably tbh.

novibe ,

They control the user data, but not the algorithm and the moneys…

They are angry teens are getting radicalised by leftist anti-imperialist content, and they are jealous the new biggest thing is not owned by an American oligarch.

What’s… happening? What’s happening?? Bro…

One MAJOR reason most people seem to be missing for the October the 7th attack was indeed religious. But maybe not in the way you’d expect…

Religious Jews and Evangelical Christians are trying to bring about the apocalypse, from the bible. They believe they must rebuild the Temple. Issue is, al-aqsa is in the temple mound and it’s one of the most sacred places for Muslims. Destroying it would start a major war.

And they started moving to have the third temple rebuilt. There are plans to demolish al-aqsa and start the works. The three red heifers to be sacrificed, turned into ash and used to purify the priests who will start the building work are the first step.

If you read Hamas’ explanations for the October 7th attack, al-aqsa is a central part of it. It was called al-aqsa flood after all.

edit: to clarify, there is real material danger to the al-aqsa mosque

novibe ,

But they are doing something about it it seems 🤷‍♂️

novibe ,

Fucking scary seeing almost 80% of Indians believe they’re going in the right direction, ngl

novibe ,

The sampling bias makes sense actually… I bet it’s even more of a thing in India than most places.

novibe ,

It can also be just as bad, only in totally different ways 🤷‍♂️

novibe ,

Coyote Bao just sounds like a health code violation lmao

novibe ,

It’s a much older story than the Catholic Church tho. Obviously older than Christianity as a whole right? It’s one of the oldest parts of the Torah/Old Testament. It did change over time, but I believe it has much more religious implications than political.

In any case, I believe it’s a story to explain our difference from animals, our apparent separation from creation while also being a part of it. An attempt, within the metaphysics of early Semitic religions, to answer one of the most fundamental questions humans always had: what are we and what are we doing here?

I also like some of the more esoteric interpretations, so idk

novibe ,

It’s the widely accepted theory yes

CIA Used Chinese Social Media In Covert Influence Operation Against Xi Jinping's Government (www.reuters.com)

Two years into office, President Donald Trump authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to launch a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media aimed at turning public opinion in China against its government, according to former U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the highly classified operation. Three former officials...

They do control TikTok data (in the US): www.mintpressnews.com/…/286780/

They don’t control the algorithm tho, and TikTok is acting as a powerful tool against state propaganda in the west. Also, it’s a Chinese app that is more successful than the American ones, that’s scary for the US.

novibe ,

I play-fight with my cat and I can say if they were taking it seriously I would have no chances.

novibe ,

But using a VPN is not illegal in China… why would you even have to explain why you’re using one?

novibe ,

Lmao South China Morning Post and Radio Free Asia are literally propaganda mouthpieces for the CIA

novibe ,

I challenge you to look up any of those “ghost cities” now. Literally all are filling up. People really don’t understand planning and building for the future?

novibe ,

Americans downvoting you, mad they are the bad guys.

novibe ,

This is actually an expansion of the PATRIOT act, and it gives immense powers to the president over web based platforms.

People really are not reading the law or articles about it at all.

This has nothing to do with TikTok. TikTok is already incredibly controlled by the US and particularly by the CIA: www.mintpressnews.com/…/286780/
